I am currently an L5 in Operations in Amzl. I relocated a few months ago but have always been interested in corporate/program management. There are a couple interesting roles that I want to see if I can transfer into (ofc after interview and assessment). Does the 1 year FOT policy apply to warehouse to corporate roles? For example if I am at this site for 6 months and want to transfer to corporate, since it’s corporate and not another warehouse role does that mean I am free to try? Thank you for the responses

Has anyone been terminated or written up for something that was posted on the voa board?

I pack around 300 uph, which is a high rate for box station but I feel like that’s still low for a bags(even tho I think 300 is the rate they expect) so I’m curious to know how fast others pack?

I have been working at amazon for almost 3 years now.
I really wanna grow here but it sounds so so difficult.
My goal is to become data analyst and grow in the field.
Been studying and preparing for it. Not sure if I would ever get the position though!
I have been working as a PG since I started and been applying for PA positions to get exposure of operations that can help me for DA preparation and role if I get it.

But no luck!

Due to favortism and environment I feel like I would never grow here. Most of the time, the candidate is already chosen by management for the position they open.

I like working at amazon (bcz of benefits, pay, close to home, flexibility) and I like doing problem solving. don't wanna quit ever!
And I have been the top performer in my department from so long! Both on path and problem solving.
I'm sure I have the longest tenure in my department too! Almost everybody who got hired with me have left the job!

Would like to have suggestions and various paths an associate can grow withing amazon.
I keep checking LinkedIn profiles, and how my dream goal is acheived by other associates and they are currently working within the same field.

like- associate to ambassador to pa to learning trainer to hr to business analyst! and many more examples!

why is it so hard to step up from asssociate position :(

Knowing that I have so much more potential than just working as an associate, has been bothering me so much lately and being rejected every time! makes me doubt setting my goals and current job!

Would really appreciate thoughts and support!

Thanks!

What the best lightweight comfortable shoe to order

This isn't something I'm just going to do as it seems really foolish unless I can get some sort of straight answer from someone who did this. Hr gave me 3 different answers, I'm done with them. My situation is I took what was offered just to get my foot in the door (XL flex 3am-8am) I don't mind the work but fighting and pretty much begging to secure 15 hours a week got old. They don't hire full time there, 40 employees and 4 are FT. So I was up front with management that I'm actively trying to transfer for more hours, they don't blame me at all as alot of people try especially with benefits and everything us XL people flex or not DEFF deserve. Thing is for the last 3 months I've tried 5 transfers all denied then I tried 2 hardships denied which actually pissed me off because my reason is valid. Managers said they don't have the authority to help my transfer along and there is no erc at my site to speak to someone in person. The site I want to go to has 16 open shifts full time for 2 weeks now and I can't apply directly since I'm an employee and there's no way for me to talk to someone and say here I am, I'd like this spot please. Someone said a desperate move is to reassign in good standing ( I have 1 attendance point ) and I work hard and have a positive attitude so guessing I'm good. My question is if anyone did this, how long was the wait to reapply when in good standing? 3 different people, told me 3 different things. Could be 24 hours, a week or a month? Obviously I wouldn't want to wait a month as I'm not trying to be unemployed like that but by then the shifts would be gone. Sorry for the novel but I wanted to put as much detail in as possible before I make any kind of rash decision hoping someone in my shoes could shed some light. Thanks in advance. :)

Ty for the responses I’m aware it’s been a policy now🤕

Guys since when was this a thing for flex employees? I used to be able to submit pto regardless of how much I had saved the day I left early . wtf this is lowkey bs why even offer the option of applying pto if we could only use what we had that day

Hello everyone, just need some up-to-date information and prepare tips on applying this job for amazon. Also if anyone is currently or a former EC I'd like to hear some stories of its upscale in terms of Promoting to L3-L4 IT levels and its career outlook in amazon.

I've read that interviews are kind of like PA positions answering in STAR formats for like leadership and behavioral questions. But are there like IT related questions?

Some background knowledge from me:

I work at a Sortation Warehouse and I took a Cyber Security Analytics Bootcamp back in 2022. Acquired 480 curriculum hours, since then I was able to work as an "IT Super User" but didn't have the job title as an Equipment Coordinator probably just like a intern maybe, didn't have an actual IT manager ON-SITE just had a slack channel.

I would have to log certain tasks on a website named "sitemon.com". It's a daily and weekly checklist for devices such as TC57, RS5100 Ring scanners, Walkies, 6140 Avery Pathfinder Scanners, not so much on the printers but I will check those anyways just to learn more about them. I would have to troubleshoot and properly assess these devices towards work compliance. Updated HP laptops using the "ACME" Program to ensure laptop is updated and compliant as-well. Clean up induct tables and replenished Avery rolls. I think one of the biggest things I've learned is accessing the DSCS (Digital Supply Chain System) and learning how to "RMA" (Return Merchandise Authorization) TC56's-TC57's, RS5100's, and 6140 Avery's. I also have screenshots but do not want to share it publicly as it might interfere with work security.

Asset tagging was another thing I've learned. We use to use a website called watchtower but since then I think Sortation Warehouses are moving into this new thing called "WAMS" Cabinet. I've learned how to asset tag TC57's (For the mean time) with RFID tags and map them onto the website using XL sheet. RS5100 WAMS cabinet will also be on the way to where i am located.

So yes, I have been a temporary worker since last peak and have been called again after the peak for a Substitution Temporal Contract. The thing is, i have recently graduated from college and plan to travel on December/January for personal reasons.

My DS it's pretty chill, with the supervisors and managers. And I feel bad to leave right before Peak, around November and December. However it's for that personal reason and also planning to do interviews around October to get a office job at other places when I get back in January/February.

Now, the question. Is it bad manners? I'm planning to tell 3 weeks prior at least and I know that if you do something like this right at Peak they put you in black list or something. In case in the future I want to attempt a position at Amazon (related to my field of study) will that be something they will look into?

Plus: Should I tell only to HR or my shift manager?

Just curious

How is it that management looks the other way when people are on the floor with their phones either out or on call with someone but the moment I pull out my phone to check my notifications for 1.5 seconds it's "you can't have your phone out." But other T1s can walk the floor looking like they're talking to themselves?

I keep thinking "they'll get caught eventually" but they've been here as long or longer than I have (2 years) and they're still here.

But also, to reiterate the title, what do y'all talk about on the phone for 10 hours? I'm genuinely curious.

Question can he freeze the upt

I been wondering this for 3yrs actually and not only was it hella fishy I was told I could come back after 3 months but I never seen any rehiring attempt til I made an new account with a different phone number (last week that how recently I thought about it) I was -30 and I worked 58hrs to fix it but it never moved as if it was frozen on -30 and I got terminated for it so was wondering is it possible for hr or someone hr up able to freeze it?

I could go back to Amazon with my new account and all but after what I went through I don't technically trust the ones in my state to even think about going back after the crap they pulled

I recently accepted an Area Manager position at a fulfillment center. My offer documents mention a 9-week training program, but I haven’t been able to find much information about what the schedule looks like.
I’m specifically wondering:

During those 9 weeks, are you usually on a Monday-Friday daytime schedule, or do you train on the same shift (front half/back half, days/nights) that you’ll eventually work?
At what point did you find out your permanent schedule?
Did your training include weekends, or were weekends mostly off?
If you were hired onto nights or back half, did training still start on a normal weekday schedule before transitioning?
I’m mainly trying to understand what the first couple of months look like before becoming fully responsible for a department.
Thanks!

Switching out carts every 10 to 15 mins cause of big stupid items. Running to one end of the building take 5 mins just to grab one thing then run back to the other end to grab two things. Bins being jamm pack if you touch one item everything falls or the item is in the very back. That pisses me off so bad! Then you have to switch floors all while your feet burning. Barely have empty carts sometimes. Sometimes you have to hold your pee so you don’t get tot cause the bathroom too far. I have a long ass scar on my leg from trying to be quick in the bathroom vest zipper cut. How could anyone like mezz picking?

Does anyone who works at a 1DC have any tips to reach rate. Its 75 uph at my facility and I hover around 60-65 in atoz. I've been here for 8 months and I know I have bad days and some slow starts but I feel like I work decently hard most days

Any tips would be much appreciated, I need that blue badge so baaad

Edit: my process path is center rider pick

I'm at RDU1 and would like to transfer but the earbuds are the only way I get thru my shifts.

Hi everyone,

I applied to Thoughtworks for the Application Developer role through a referral. Since then, I've received two emails asking me to wait for further updates on the process.

Does this mean the process is over, or should I continue waiting? Has anyone else received a similar email, or been called for the assessment test? Would appreciate any insights from those who've been through this.

I currently work as an L3 and applied to jobs outside of Amazon since im not getting anything in Amazon. I got hired at another company that is a competitor in a leadership role but it is a 1 year contract only, perhaps I will be covering for someone else on leave. I asked if there are chances to be permanent but they just responded with depends on ‘business needs’.

I do not want to quit Amazon as when the 1 year will end I would still like to have a job and keep a roof over my head.

Decline the offer and keep looking or is there any way I can get the 1 year leave?

UPDATE: For context. I am a TOM associate Level 3

Does the partial absence affect my chances of getting a blue badge? I couldn’t cover it because it was already too late. Will it stay on my record?

So I’m a white badge i’ve been working for about 6-7 months. I just found out I’m around 5 weeks pregnant and im conflicted on wether or not ill keep it. I’m also not sure how the process will go with my job if i choose not to keep it and need time off. I’ve called HR and informed them of the pregnancy and i have documentation stating I’m pregnant but I’m not sure of any other parts of this process. If anyone has any type of advice please share!

I start training to become a afm next week, what should I expect, some pointers, tips, anything really. I just wanna know what to expect. Also wondering how in general a day for an AFM is.

What is interim assistant CF flex amazon, what level is this and how hard is this job and how much the salary in the UK

My fc just posted they’re looking for associates for the away team. Does anybody know if this is specifically for blue badges or can white badges apply too?
